Numerical simulation of Boger nanofluids with heat source, magnetic field, and Cattaneo–Christov heat flux model between two parallel permeable porous plates via finite difference... by Qadeer Raza, Xiaodong Wang

“…Increasing the relaxation time ratio parameter and Darcy number reduces the nanofluid velocity profile U(τ∗,ξ∗,η∗) in both porous plates, while increasing the penalty number and porosity parameter enhances the velocity profile V(τ∗,ξ∗,η∗) at the bottom and top porous plates. Boosting the values of the irregular heat source/sink parameter and the thermal relaxation parameter enhances the heat transfer rate θ(τ∗,ξ∗,η∗) in both porous plates. …”
